FLOWING FROM THE NCPC RESOURCE EFFICIENCY & CLEANER PRODUCTION AUDIT CONDUCTED IN FEB 2015

AUDIT OBJECTIVES

• To ASSESS THE USAGE of ENERGY and WATER and major consumers in the production process (national energy efficiency targets) IDENTIFY opportunities for INCREASED EFFICIENCY and RECOVERY of resources within these areas (target driven) • • To evaluate/recommend EFFICIENCY MONITORING PROGRAMMES

KEY FOCUS AREAS

STEAM >50% REDUCTION ELECTRICAL ENERGY >20% REDUCTION WATER >50% REDUCTION (MUNIC SUPPLY) • • • TO STRENGTHEN OUR POSITION AS INDUSTRY LEADERS in EFFICIENCY

STEAM ELECTRICAL ENERGY • SOLID WASTE • • WATER PRIORITISED IMPLEMENTATION OF OZONATED WATER FILTRATION PLANT WITH UV (MEMCON)

A LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS Clean water prior to distribution to municipal storm water drain Water for applications throughout the factory For uses other than in end products Suitable for end product for future purposes

A LOOK AT THE SCIENCE 1 Factory effluent enters effluent plant and solids are removed. 6 Goes through UV system back into the factory. 2 Water is filtrated in effluent plant. 5 Only 75% goes into filtration plant where it is ozonated into a silo. 3 Blender mixes 25% municipal and 75% reworked filtered water. 4 Ozonated filtration removes bacteria.

IMPLEMENTED WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM – COST-BENEFIT CAPEX R 2 M Projected 75% reduction in municipal water supply Projected annual direct saving R 1. 35 M Investment break-even 18 months
